Soooooo it's been a whole month since I've posted anything. #slacker
Today is Nicolette's 11 Month Birthversary and she celebrated by sleeping in until 8am! She wasn't really feeling the photoshoot today and was a little serious in front of the camera so we just went with it. As I was flipping back through the photos I couldn't believe how LONG her legs are!!!
Nicolette can wave "hi" and "bye" and can say, "Mama" "Dada" and "Doh" (which means dog - she literally says it pretty much any time she sees a dog) :). She can put coins in her piggy bank and put things away in her purse. She learned how to climb the stairs (oh joy!) and I have a hard time keeping her away from stairs anywhere we go. She can turn ANYTHING into a "walking toy" - her high chair, a book, a laundry basket, tupperware, you name it and she can stand for quite a while without holding on to anything. No independent steps yet though, which is fine with mama!
ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌserənˈdipitē/Noun: The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. During our 3 years of "trying" to start a family I would get notices that someone we know was blessed with a pregnancy, a "happy accident" which by the way is synonymous with my all time favorite word~SERENDIPITY. Now I know that there are no Happy Accidents, rather God's hand is on each and every one of us creating amazing opportunities each and every day.
